In this episode we are looking at the growing market for no code or low code app development. The premise is simple. Rather than coding an app or tool yourself, you simply drag and drop pre-existing components, data sources, and data outputs into a map, and set the actions to whatever you need.
However, there are challenges, including the creation of shadow IT systems within an organization, and giving non-experts the ability to interact - potentially destructively - with your data. Joining us today to discuss the challenges and opportunities is Richard Kerridge, a strategist in HPE Education Services customer team.
This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what we can learn from it.

The Technology Now: Today I Learned special edition
Technology Now
05/16/24 • 15 min
In this episode we are taking a break from the norm to bring you a few of the amazing stories from the world of science and technology that haven’t quite made it into the podcast recently.
Our goal is to bring you a lot of amazing stories and important technological developments on this podcast, but the little stories in the middle where we take a break don’t always get the attention they deserve. So, this week, we’re bringing you some of the stories from around the world that haven’t quite made the podcast yet. And, of course, you’ll find details of all the stories we feature today in the show notes.
Don’t worry, this isn’t a regular thing - we’ll be back to normal next week.
This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what we can learn from it.

What is sovereignty in AI?
Technology Now
04/24/25 • 23 min
What does it mean for artificial intelligence to be sovereign? This week, Technology Now explores how more than just data can be sovereign, our AI models using the data can be too. We ask what it actually means for AI models to be sovereign and why companies, and indeed entire countries, would be interested in this concept. Andreas Geiss, Vice-President Automotive & Manufacturing at Aleph Alpha tells us more.

In this episode, we’ll be taking you on a trip to London for the final race weekend of the 10th season of the Formula E championship, which was held on the weekend of the 20th and 21st July.
We’ve been looking at the tech behind the event, how Formula E is transforming the world of racing, and what our organisations can learn from the cutting edge of motorsport.
One of those areas is in training and familiarity. Knowing the circuit and how the car will behave at any given moment is obviously a huge advantage. But how do you work that out when you’ve only got the race weekend?
Well, one way is to use track and car simulations - essentially, incredibly accurate digital twins of a racetrack with a full suite of driving controls and simulated movement, where drivers can test their setups in a variety of conditions, to prepare for race day.
Here to talk more about that are this week’s guests, from Maserati MSG racing: Cyril Blais, deputy team principal, and driver Maximillian Günther.

There are math problems that are hard. So hard that even current computers cannot solve them. To get around these problems, we need to re-think the very foundation of how we architect our IT, by using a technological field called 'novel accelerators'.
It sounds complicated, but today's guest is particularly skilled at explaining incredibly complicated concepts. He says: "Right now, Generative AI and accelerators are at the forefront of being able to help with these major advances, and the world could change in really significant ways. Medicine, materials, energy, information technology... to harness these systems to help us - not to replace us."
Joining us today is Ray Beausoleil, a physicist, senior fellow and senior vice president at HPE. He leads the large scale integrated photonics lab at Hewlett Packard Labs.

The cybersecurity landscape in 2024: an overview
Technology Now
10/24/24 • 21 min
In this episode, we’ll be taking a look at the overall cybersecurity landscape in 2024. We’ll be asking how threats have evolved, how new tools are helping us attack and defend our organizations, and what to be aware of in the coming months.
To navigate the field, we’re joined by Technology Now first-timer John Spiegel, and returning friend of the podcast, Jaye Tilson. They are both Field CTOs and Distinguished Technologists at HPE.

What is an AI agent?
Technology Now
05/15/25 • 21 min
How do we make artificial intelligence more intelligent? This week, Technology Now dives deep into the world of AI agents and how they interact with large language models. We ask what are some of the current problems with AI, and examine how applying agents can help artificial intelligence to provide better answers to our questions. Jimmy Whitaker, Chief Scientist in the AI Private Cloud Group at HPE, tells us more.

AI and conservation: Striking the right balance
Technology Now
09/07/23 • 19 min
Alongside tackling global warming, conservation and protecting the diversity of our natural world is a global priority. AI plays a huge role, from analysing satellite imagery of reforestation efforts to identifying wildlife from acoustic scanners or trip cameras.
However, there’s an issue in these biomes where many people live - these efforts are taking place without their permission. Privacy, data protection and individual rights can potentially be sidelined in the quest for a tech-driven solution to a global problem.
Joining us today is Joycelyn Longdon. She’s a PhD Student in the Department of Computer Science at Cambridge University. Her research is around looking at the technical, AI-based solutions to environmental protection, and respect local populations, whilst trying to protect our natural habitats.
She also runs Climate in Colour, an organisation dedicated to making conversations around climate more diverse and accessible.

Golf is undeniably one of the most challenging sports in the world from a logistical and operational standpoint. Especially when it comes to connecting the hundreds or thousands of smart devices dotted around them during major tournaments.
Courses are huge areas, several kilometers square. They have dozens of acres of maintained grass, geographical challenges, roads, trees, and often other services on or near them that need to be skirted around or crossed. They are open to the elements. In short, providing connectivity is a huge challenge.
That's the challenge for our guest this week, Chief Technology Officer for the European Tour Group and Ryder Cup Europe, Michael Cole. We'll be talking about creating 21st-century connected ecosystems in the most extreme environments, as well as the future of golf as a 'smart' sport.
